Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere Book • Page 12

The Rithmatist was really good. I feel like if you like the Comsere stuff you'll like it too. I adored the magic system and it's just as complex as any of the Comsere stuff.

 

I need him to work on the sequel already.

 

Yeah when I had about 40 pages left and no answers I was starting to get sad thinking about the wait, ha. I don't want him to take time away from Cosmere writing though so it's a tough situation!

 

He keeps announcing unrelated works and I’m excitedly side-eyeing him all the time

 

I saw Patrick Rothfuss hosting a show on tv and got so undeservedly angry.

 

Even more so than Winds of Winter, I don't think Doors of Stone is ever coming out.

 

the long it takes rothfuss to write that the longer it will take for me to hate read it so I’m okay with that one give me winds of winter martin

 

Yep, I'll read it but I honestly don't really care when DoS comes out. Even with some of the...missteps of AFFC and ADWD, I'm still dying for TWoW.

 

it'll be a cold day in hell when DoS and TWoW are released

 

Sanderson has ruined cheap magic systems for me. No more wave your hand and something starts on fire. I need everything explained to me.

 

If you ever want to chat about Shannara with someone, hit me up. I've read nearly all of his books (I fell a little behind a few years back, so I'm playing catch up now, but I'm expecting/hoping to be current by the time the new book comes out this summer) and he's one of my favorite all-time authors.

 

Y’all ever start Grace of Kings?

Does it feel more like reading a history book slightly fleshed out as opposed to a novel to y’all as well?

 

I am about 3/4 of the way through. It is a bit more history book. But I find myself enjoying that aspect of it! For me, it is a nice change of pace from what I’ve been reading recently.

 

Are you listening or reading? I feel like we listen to a ton of the same books.

I’m 1/3 in, I think.

 

Listening!

I think after I finish this I’m going to do Ready Player One before the movie comes out.

 

EXCELLENT audiobook experience that book.

I’ll probably power through Dandelion #2.

Just got New Spring on sale for $5.95 today on Audible and have Eye of the World sitting there and the temptation is getting far too strong to return to Randland.

Also blew a credit on Mistborn #2 finally.

 

Haha funny you mention that. I absolutely loved it but I was about 200 pages in waiting for the book to settle on shorter timeframe, once I finally realized what that's what he was going for I was able to enjoy it more. It's interesting having a book where chapter breaks could mean years pass, and double spaced breaks within the chapters could mean months have passed.

Mata is so perfect. He's really what made the book for me.

 

NO MATING

 

Ugh, so most of White Sand Vol 2 is great as expected, but the final chapter is done by a different artist (no narrative reason, presumably there was just an issue with the artist finishing) and its really generic lazy-looking, at least in comparison to the rest of the book. Major bummer, I get that that happens a lot with comics shipping on bi-weekly schedules and whatnot but for a graphic novel collection it just sucks.

God I love Khriss so much. Like I did before, but knowing all that I do now...She's the best.

 

Finally got around to starting Well of Ascension and wtf was my problem waiting

 

I found WoA to be the worst of the trilogy. Hero of Ages was incredible, can't wait for you to start that.

 

I will take all the Sazed I can get.

 

I take it you haven't read it before?

 

WoA is my favorite of the trilogy

 

Nope. Owned them for like eight years but never got past the first somehow.
